OF  THE 


CITY  OK  PORTLAND. 


Adopted  by  the  Board  of  Police  Commissioners,  August  2,  1886. 


CHIEF  OF  POLICE. 

The  equipment,  discipline,  control  and  management  of  the 
police  force  shall  be  entrusted  to  the  Chief  of  Police,  subject 
to  such  rules  and  regulations  as  may  from  time  to  time  be  made 
by  the  Board  of  Police  Commissioners. 

Much  must  be  done  by  himself,  and  under  his  own  immediate 
inspection,  as  he  is  held  responsible  for  the  general  performance 
of  the  duties  of  the  police.  He  must  give  precise  and  clear 
instructions  to  the  officers  under  him,  and  report  every  instance 
of  neglect,  to  the  Board  of  Police  Commissioners. 

It  is  not  intended  to  lay  down  any  precise  course  for  the 
Chief  of  Police,  nor  to  say  how  much  of  his  time  is  to  be  passed 
in  the  active  performance  of  his  duties ; but  he  will  feel  the 
importance  of  visiting  parts  of  the  city  at  uncertain  hours  every 
day  and  night,  and  seeing  for  himself  the  practical  workings  of 
the  system,  which  is  entrusted  to  his  care.

RULES  FOR  THE 


It  is  desirable  that  the  Chief  of  Police  should  be  at  Police 
Headquarters,  as  often  as  circumstances  may  permit.  His  duties 
require  his  frequent  attendance  there.  He  is  responsible  for  the 
general  conduct  and  good  order  of  the  organization  under  his 
charge,  and  by  frequent  personal  intercourse  should  make  him- 
self acquainted  with  the  character  and  conduct  of  the  men  under 
his  orders.  He  will  be  firm  and  just,  and  at  the  same  time  kind 
and  conciliating  in  his  behavior  toward  them. 

Rule  i.  Each  member  of  the  Police  force  shall  devote  his 
whole  time  and  attention  to  the  business  of  the  Department,  and 
he  is  expressly  prohibited  from  following  any  other  calling,  or 
being  employed  in  any  other  business.  Although  certain  hours 
are  allotted  to  the  policemen  for  the  performance  of  duty  on  ordi-

day  or  night  duty,  temporarily  or  permanently,  anywhere  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  Police  Commissioners,  without 
regard  to  the  district  to  which  they  may  have  been  before 
attached,  or  the  duty  to  which  they  may  have  been  previously 
assigned. 

Rule.  3.  Members  of  the  Police  Department  must  be  civil 
and  respectful  to  their  officers,  to  each  other,  and  to  all  persons, 
on  all  occasions. 

Rule  4.  Each  member  in  his  deportment  and  conduct  must 
be  quiet,  civil  and  orderly.  In  the  performance  of  his  duty  he 
must  maintain  decorum  and  attention,  command  of  temper,  and 
he  must  be  discreet.  He  must  at  all  times,  refrain  from  harsh, 
violent,  coarse,  profane  or  insolent  language  ; and  ^yj^en  required, 
he  must  act  with  firmness  and  sufficient  energy  to  perform  his 
duty. 

Rule  5.  No  member  will  be  permitted  to  apply  for  a war- 
rant for  an  assault  upon  himself,  without  first  reporting  the  cause

Rule  6.  All  members  of  the  Police  force  shall  be  deemed  to 
be  always  on  duty,  subject  to  such  relief  therefrom  as  shall  be 
allowed  by  proper  authority,  and  the  same  responsibility  as  to 
the  suppression  of  disturbances  and  to  the  arrest  of  offenders,  rests

Rule  7.  Every  member  of  the  Police  force  when  entering 
upon  duty,  must  be  neat  in  his  person  and  clothes. 

Rule  8.  No  member  of  the  Police  force  shall  communicate 
to  any  person  any  information  which  may  enable  persons  to 
escape  from  arrest  or  punishment,  or  that  may  enable  them  to 
dispose  of  or  secrete  any  goods  or  other  valuable  things  stolen  or 
embezzled. 

Rule  9.  No  member  shall  communicate,  except  to  such  per- 
sons as  indicated  by  his  superior  in  office,  or  by  rule,  any  infor- 
mation respecting  orders  he  may  have  received,  or  any  regula- 
tion that  may  be  made  for  the  government  of  the  Department. 

Rule  10.  No  member  under  the  Chief  shall  give  any  infor- 
mation concerning  matters  of  offense  or  disturbances  or  crimes 
that  come  to  their  knowledge,  except  to  those  connected  with 
the  Department,  unless  otherwise  directed  by  the  Chief. 

Rule  ii.  Each  member  shall  at  all  times  have  with  him  a 
small  book,  in  which  he  shall  enter  the  names  of  persons  taken 
in  charge  by  him,  and  such  particulars  in  such  case  as  may  be 
important  on  the  trial  of  the  ( ause,  and  also  a statement  of  such 
other  matters  and  persons  coming  to  his  knowledge  and  observa- 
tion when  on  duty  that  may  in  any  way  be  of  assistance  in  the 
detection  of  crime  or  misdemeanor. 

Rule  12.  Every  member  when  coming  off  duty  shall,  before 
he  is  relieved,  make  a report  to  the  Chief,  or  in  his  absence,  to

inafter provided  by  the  following  named  substantial  taxpayers  and

N.  B. — It  was  evidently  intended  to  add  the  Sections  of  this  Act  to  the  charter  at  the  end 
thereof,  so  as  to  preserve  the  numerical  order  in  the  numbering  of  the  Sections,  but  through 
some  inadvertance  the  numbering  of  the  Sections  in  this  Act  is  commenced  with  Section  142 
instead  of  Section  160,  so  in  order  to  preserve  the  numerical  order  in  the  numbering  of  the 
Sections  in  the  charter  it  was  thought  advisable  to  begin  the  numbering  of  the  Sections  of 
this  Act  with  Section  160.  giving  the  number  of  the  Sections  as  they  occur  in  the  Act  itself 
in  brackets.
